I built this for a customer over 6 years ago, basic forged 331 AFR 185, small blower can, gt40 intake and 12psi of intercooled STRIM boost.

Cracked lifter valley, #2,3 and 4 main, broke can in half. Funny thing is the rotating assembly, bearings, lifters and all parts look great. Only symptoms we had were 4 dead cylinders, hell it even sounded normal while running.

Broken cam sure is neat. I had one a few years ago the cracked the block: mains, cam journals and lifter valley had 2 cam bearings fall out and the only clue we had was 8 psi of oil pressure, he'll we drove it 30 minutes home from the track like that. All in all no one can say that these things aren't incredible.

Mine after 4 years of running no warning but a miss and a thump followed by oh **** oh **** as the car got water and oil under the rear tires. no complaints at all. many runs and street miles dont know the HP numbers but it gave up when I put the 17 psi pulley on it LOL It now has a R block.. it was running lows 11 high 10s all stock short block but the pistons, rod bolts and a f-cam.
